Summary/Abstract: The systematic integration of Western Balkans countries2 into the EU is the most important if not the only tool for their social and economic progress and for improving stability and security of this region and Europe as a whole. Bosnia and Hercegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia had as a part of ex-Yugoslavia a long tradition of cooperating with the European Community, since the adoption of the Declaration on the relations between SFR Yugoslavia and the EEC in 1967.3 In the same time has been Albania an isolated authoritarian country. The Western Balkans region is today an island in the EU space encircled by EU members – Croatia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece and Italy on the other side of Adriatic.
